Difference in singles, doubles, triples, strikeouts, sacrifices is within margin of difference. Big drop off in walks, cataclysmic decline in homers. That's how you go from 4th to 14th in runs.

Braves actually had a better OPS this year vs. LHP than they did in 2013. Another interesting note is the Braves did slightly better with runners in scoring position than without. Also, our pinch hitters stunk.

By wRC+, Braves only get better at one position- both in raw number and in MLB rank- between 13 and 14, and that gain was marginal. Freddie Freeman pretty much stayed the same, every other position got worse.
